Acquitted in Canberra arson trial of Allan Colverwell
Allan Luke Colverwell, 43, a grazier of Burbong, was found not guilty on two charges of arson. The trial in the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory heard his movements around the Burbong settlers camp on January 31, with witnesses describing tents burning and a preceding explosion. The Crown’s case suggested involvement near the camp, but the defence argued lack of decisive proof, and the judge directed the verdict of not guilty.
